Celebrating Loyola's Commitment to Undergraduate Research and Scholarship
On Friday, April 1, 2011, the Undergraduate Student Research & Scholarship Committee held its annual Colloquium. The competition establishes a campus-wide forum in which undergraduate research and scholarship can be presented before the college community. This event not only contributes to the professional development of participants, it underscores the importance the college places on student involvement in creative intellectual endeavors.
The finalists below presented their research in open competition for first, second, and third place cash awards.
